Please read the following studio policies carefully. We strictly follow these policies.

AGE REQUIREMENTS:

Our minimum age requirement is 15 years. Persons under the age of 18 must have written consent from a parent or guardian. A parent or guardian must be present at the studio before a student’s first class to sign a release form and show proper ID.

ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCES:

ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE NOT ALLOWED TO BE CONSUMED BEFORE ANY PHYSICAL ACTIVITIES.

If you show up to class intoxicated, you will not be allowed to participate in any activities. You will also be asked to leave the studio, and you will not receive a refund.

*Additional note: Although the recreational use of marijuana is now legal in the state of Massachusetts, the same policy applies to this as it does to alcohol. If the instructor has any doubts about your condition to safely participate in any activities, he or she reserves the right to exclude you from class.

WAIVERS:

All clients must sign a liability waiver before participating in any activities. An electronic signature is required at the creation of your MindBody client account, and you must also complete and sign a hard copy at the time of your first visit. A Par-Q questionnaire and emergency contact information are required as part of the hard copy waiver. You must provide two forms of contact for your emergency contact (phone number and email).

CLASS LEVELS:

Class levels are designed to give students the maximum experience for his or her ability. If, at any time, the instructor believes a level is inappropriate for a student, the instructor CAN DENY THE CLASS to the student. This is for your safety, and out of respect for other students in the class. Please read the class descriptions for level requirements and pre-requisites. If you have questions about whether a level is appropriate for you, please ask your instructor. Instructors grant level advancement.

While we encourage advanced students to attend a lower level class on occasion to brush up on basics, lower levels are reserved for students in that level. Therefore, an advanced student may be bumped from the class if a lower level student would like to register. In addition, it’s important for advanced students attending lower level classes to be mindful of other participants’ abilities and follow the class curriculum. If the instructor feels that you are distracting other students by doing more advanced moves, or not following the class curriculum, you may be asked to leave.

Please remember, these rules are for the safety and respect of others around you.

CLOTHING AND ATTIRE:

Please wear proper attire at the studio. We recommend fitted clothing, generally shorts or leggings depending on your activity, sports bras or tank tops. If you have any questions about what to wear, please call us. Jeans, khakis, button down shirts, or otherwise regular clothes are not allowed during class. If you are not wearing the appropriate attire, then you will not be allowed to participate and you will not receive a refund.

Street shoes are not allowed in the studio. Please bring an extra pair of athletic shoes if your class requires them.

EQUIPMENT USAGE AND OPEN POLE TIMES:

Students are not allowed to use any equipment they are unfamiliar with in between classes or during open studio times. Performing inversions in between classes when an instructor is not present is not permitted. A staff member will be present during open studio times, however, he/she will not be conducting classes or offering help. Please With open studio times, there will be a staff member in the studio but will not be conducting classes or offering help, so please be aware and use caution when practicing.

The instructor on duty teaching another class or scheduled staff member still retains all authority over the open class and must be listened to and all directives followed. Failure to do so will result in the removal from the open session.

**Aerial students MUST use mats underneath their apparatus during open aerial times.

SCHEDULING CLASSES AND PAYMENTS:

Classes are scheduled online through our MindBody page here. All sessions must be paid for in full before registering for classes. Private lessons and parties must be paid for in full in accordance with service terms and conditions. See pricing pages for details.

DO NOT BE LATE. If you are MORE THAN 5 MINUTES LATE, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN CLASS, and your reservation will be given to a student on the wait list.

YOU WILL NOT BE REFUNDED.

This is for safety purposes. Warm up is a vital part of the class to prevent injury and to fully prepare the body for exercise. It is also respectful to your fellow students and instructor to be on time.

We recommend that you arrive at least 10 minutes prior to your class, dressed and fully prepared for class.

CANCELLATION POLICY:

Classes require an 8-hour cancellation notice. Once the cancellation notice is received your session will be returned to your account for you to use towards another class. Late cancellations will result in the loss of the session from your package.

Our standard 8-hour cancellation policy is suspended in these cases, up to 2 hours before the class.

WAIT LIST POLICY:

We encourage you to add yourself to the wait list if classes are full. Students frequently cancel their reservations, making room for other students.

If you are unable to attend class, then kindly remove yourself from the wait list.
